"Impossible as everything is interlinked."
You can effect others without infringing upon them, thus of course it's possible, but we all make mistakes sometimes... that's what apologies are for you see 😉
"Does it matter if the person who initially created it meant it for good. See creator of the plastic bag & how that turned out for an example."
Plastic bags aren't bad, and neither is inventing them, they were and are a great invention when used responsibly and recycled appropriately, but if you throw it into nature THAT is the irresposible (bad) action.
"Gifted children are often exploited. Should we as adults apologize for the crimes others committed using us? When does intent become malice?"
Children are innocent of all things. Teens are a grey area, resposibility begins but forgiveness must be generous. Adults must absolutely take responsibility for their actions.
"Whoops 😬 WHO is held accountable?"
At the very least you must hold yourself accountable, that is part of being a functioning adult. Depending on your belief, maybe God? That's up to you. If you can't hold yourself accountable maybe therapy is needed, nothing to be ashamed of there we all must work on ourselves 🤗 and release ourselves from the actions of others, unless we feel inspired to help, but know your boundaries.
"Why I continue to ask questions …"
Excellent! 😁 always ask questions! Children sadly often lose the "Why?" When adults get annoyed with them, but "why?" Is the most important question of all. 😁
"Again: if it benefits more humanity than just a few, does that matter? It does to me."
🤔 I mean, if you have the oportunity to save someones life then of course run late! 😅 things aren't black and white, everything has nuance, there are better actions and worse actions, another good example of why apologies are important 😆
"You do you & respect that others may see things from different views. We can all get along. Not everyone seeks to prove their worth to others. Some of us have always believed in humanity & will continue to fight for them. Despite few understanding our existence nor our reasoning. Accepted reality of that at three years old. No sass. 💁🏻♀️ "
Love, light and prosperity to you 😁✌🏼🙏🏼 I mean no harm in my words, I simply enjoy deep conversations and exploring the why. I am sorry if that caused you any stress 😉🫂
